A Mystic Aura

Zurie quickly switched on the light, as she kept panting from the night mare she just awoke from . She used her eyes to scan fearfully around the room, sitting on the bed like a mouse that had been drenched in the rain. She could still hear voices in her head, It felt so real. She closed her eyes and opened them quickly as she could literally see pictures of the firce and angry looking girls chasing her " this is the second time I am having this same dream this week ? I think I am running crazy. ( Zurie held her head as she mused ) how do I explain that the side character in my novel is all of a sudden becoming real, and is after my life ? ( She thought aloud ) No this isnt happening. It has to be my imagination. " She affirmed strongly Zurie thought yet. The lights suddenly went off, fear gripped her, she could literally see shadows moving in circles all over the room. Zurie was at the verge of collapsing, she pressed her hands against her mouth to restrain herself from screaming as her eyes moved with the shadows, sweats streamed down her whole body in a rhythmic flow. She needed to be awoken from this night mare! What had she done wrong ? She had unknowingly reawakened a mystical world through her novel. It was hard to believe, but it seemed the writing contest was taking yet another shape, as the unfinished novels given to her by the writers academy to complete in order to win the competition were more than mere books, because here was Fiona her side character becoming real to her, demanding that zurie recreates the story by making her the main character instead of Tessa, the young lady that handsome and charming Rian had chosen to make the woman after his heart till infinity.

The competition is all a fallacy!

Zurie was confused, she was sad as well completely blank on how to feel.

" I have lived for many years all by my self in this dryness. However Amaya found out that I yet existed. She came for me, we fought. It was the longest of fights in history. We fought for days, under the thunderstorm, under the rain, under the scorching sun. We fought and I defeated her, however before she faded out she transmigrated into a book. She found her way into the world's of the humans. She knew that was the only way she could keep preserving the Kente tribe. I ... "

" Wait wait wait ! All this is too much to take already. ( Zurie interupptively spoke after a long time of listening, flinging her hands into the air ) What do you mean by she transmigrated into a book and found herself into the world of the humans, hoe is that even possible ? " Zurie asked revealing her confusion and frustration.

" It is true Zurie, it is deeper than you can actually understand, the human world and our world is not the same, our minds are differently programmed, we have our various powers. The power of the physical world, is their innovative minds and their brain, If properly used, they are more powerful than any spirit. She knew that was the he only way she could keep preserving her tribe. She chose Mrs Rose Meyer to be in charge of the book. She instructed the woman to keep it safely, as the woman was under her influence. Before she faded, she possessed Tessa, you are familiar with that name right ? "

" Yes I know her, the one that Rian the soldier has fallen inlove with " zurie replied almost inaudibly.

" She made Tessa a pillar here, and gave Mrs Rose Meyer the book to preserve her ownself. She knew that humans didn't have mystical powers, but they were innovative and creative, they were her only hope of remaining in power. " Fiona explained not sure if Zurie was comprehending well enough

" How did she do that ? What was her major aim to achieve ? " Zurie asked. Her confusion and disbelief was glaring

" The competition ! " Fiona put out with anger

" Huh ? " Zurie expressed.

" What is the requirement to win tthe competition ? " Fiona asked Zurie, as though she wanted to be sure of something.

" We were all given uncompleted romance novels, the winner becomes the one that could tell the best love story. The one that could determine an happy ending between each lovers in our various books. I am to tell a happy ending story between Tessa and Rian " zurie explained.

" The competition is all a fallacy! ( Fiona said becoming more angry ) Of course you'd be handsomely rewarded, but you'd unknowingly be creating a stronger Kente tribe. The human brain is stonger than our powers, that is what Amaya keeps doing each time. That book never ends, that competition is as old as that book, and it will keep going on and on. Zurie that book has fallen into your hands, automatically our mothers from the kewa tribe are counting on you to recreate our world. Zurie we need to blossom again, the dry lands needs to be watered again, zurie you are to help the women from the kewa tribe live again. You have been chosen ! " Fiona sounded

" ( Zurie wanted to cry, she couldn't find water in her eyes ) Arrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhgg " she screamed in frustration.

" I am sorry Zurie, you cannot cry here! Dryness lives here. " Fiona said to her, having the knowledge of what zurie had wanted to do

" Are you trying to say that Amaya lives in my house, that the book I write in is some kind of spirit ? " Zurie asked swallowing very hard. She was shaking in fear.

" That book is Amaya ! " Fiona sounded without mincing words

Zurie exhaled

" What if I destroy the book ? " Zurie asked again

" That book cannot be destroyed. If you do so, you will send us all out of existence. The only way to defeat her is recreation. And that is where you come in Zurie. With your pen, your gifted hands, and your creativity, you are to rewrite that story to our favor. Zurie I must come into the picture. I must defeat Tessa by taking all she has now, her life must be replaced with my life, including having Rian, that is the only way out of this . For years, other humans that had written in that book had kept us as side characters, zurie I must become the main character in that book, you alone has power over Amaya, because what ever you write in that book reflects here. " Fiona spoke authoritatively

" I thought you rightly said you were forbidden to fall inlove ? " Zurie asked quietly

" The prize I have to pay to recreate my tribe again, would be falling in love with Rian. I must get him to love me, and then pluck off his heart, then we would be restored ! " Fiona said.

" Ahhhh " zurie exhaled shaking visibly.

" Does Tessa know about you ? " Zurie asked

" She does, but she hasn't been able to find me, I am not scared of her, as the Kente tribe lost their powers as warriors after Amaya took it all, and transmigrated into a book, I am only worried about the humans that keeps making their walls stronger, by always giving their love story a happy ending. " Fiona put out. She had been standing all the while she spoke.

" I am returning the book! " Zurie said suddenly.

" Zurie you cannot do that ! " Fiona replied

" You have been marked by the spirits of the flowers to carry out this mandate. Zurie can't you see, I am fading, you are our only hope please do not say no to us. If you return that book, it us going to be transferred to yet another person, who will keep making them strong. We cannot afford that zurie, I do not have anymore time. If you write a happy ending between Tessa and Rian, it therefore means that this my hands will be off totally. Zurie the kewa tribe need you more than ever. " Fiona pleaded.

" Are you the flower spirit ? Zurie asked fearfully

" If you say so! " Fiona replied

" I do not have the capacity to do what you are asking, I am not it at all. " Zurie spoke.

" This place is too hot, I am drying out " Zurie said as streams of sweat clustered baround her face.

" It is time to return home. Go and think of all that I have said, time is running out, the cry of my mother's breaks my heart ( zurie's ears was opened to hear then again, she pressed her hands against her ears ) goodbye " Fiona said and touched zurie's chest.

Zurie opened her eyes all of a sudden, she was laying on a bed. The room didn't look familiar. She looked around her, she could see her mother and Harley. Zurie's clothes were soaked from her own sweat

" What is this place ? " Zurie asked aloud

Her mother and Harley that had dozed off from watching her, called simultaneously, rushing to her

" Zurie ! "
